I'm so far behind on all of the anime from the previous season I've barely been able to sample anything from this season, so I've only seen a few episodes of each series I review here, so please keep that in mind if what I say sounds outrageous.

Title:Maria-HolicThoughts: Subpar comedy, traps and countless cliches. Still, I was somewhat entertained, and the ending theme was too cute to let go. I expect to drop this if it doesn't improve, though.Verdict: Below average.

Title:Minami-ke OkaeriThoughts: So much better than the second season (which was average), and stopping just short of the first season (which was very good.) I enjoy the characters, the humor and the relaxing atmosphere and soothing colors. Cute, funny and charmingVerdict: Very good.

Title:RideBackThoughts: Having only seen one episode of this thus far, I'm intrigued. Girls on motorcycles is quite fine with me!Verdict: Promising, but verdict pending.

Title:White AlbumThoughts: Very nice art, but somewhat average overall. A bit melodramatic, but it's not too bad.Verdict: Average...ish.

Title:Asu no YoichiThoughts: Colorful harem with a pretty funny setting. And the girls are sexy. Really sexy. I'm not expecting any brilliance, but if it can stay as entertaining I'll be one happy camper. Verdict: Average, but fun! (and sexy)

Title:Akikan!Thoughts: The male lead is a jerk. The animations are bad. The premise is shamelessly cliched and uninteresting. Some of the female characters show potential, so that might just save the show, but I somehow doubt it. Bottom of the barrel this season, but I watched Rosario to Vampire to the end so you never know...Verdict: Bad. Real bad.

Title:KurokamiThoughts: Again, unfortunately I've just seen one episode. But I liked it. Cute female lead, I'm a sucker for those. And the harsh and unexpected ending to the first episode really intrigued me a lot. Violence and blood banzai.Verdict: Good.
